#1 New York Times bestselling author Jocko Willink’s fast-paced thriller Final Spin: a story of love, brotherhood, suffering, happiness, and sacrifice.

A story about life.

Johnny…

Shouldn’t be in a dead-end job.
Shouldn’t be in a dead-end bar.
Shouldn’t be in a dead-end life.

But he is.

It’s a hamster wheel existence. Stocking warehouse store shelves by day, drinking too much whiskey and beer by night. In between, Johnny lives in his childhood home, making sure his alcoholic mother hasn’t drunk herself to death, and looking after his idiosyncratic older brother Arty, whose world revolves around his laundromat job.

Rinse and repeat.

Then Johnny’s monotonous life takes a tumble. The laundromat where Arty works, and the one thing that gives him happiness, is about to be sold. Johnny doesn't want that to happen, so he takes measures into his own hands. Johnny, along with his friend, Goat, come up with a plan to get the money to buy the laundromat.

But things don’t always go as planned…

The story relentlessly pulls you into a narrative that constantly swings you between a sense of your nuckles going white behind the wheel and the shock of hearing about what happened to the friends from your youth. It hits you right in the allergies with chapter 50 adding a beautiful touch that I think more author's should be doing. I was able to shed some tears for my late brother Jason that I hadn't been able to shed yet. Thank you Jocko and I truly hope this gets made into a movie!

I have to admit, I enjoyed taking a break from "professional" authors to read this. Jocko's writing style isn't as polished. There's a lot of incomplete, clipped, or basic sentences. It's different, and I get that was sort of the point, that we were supposed to experience the words the way Jocko thought of the words, but I can't say it blew my mind. I didn't find the story all that original, either. A beautiful story of fraternal love, but it has been told before. The character's were also pretty unoriginal. Johnny: young adult with a rough start to life trying to find his in the world. Goat: the hispanic bad boy. Jessica, Johnny's loyal girlfriend... It was nice to see the cops portrayed in a way other than moron with a gun, but they were still pretty much you standard authority figure. Anyway, if you've been reading a lot of heavy lit stuff, this might be a good break.

Love Jocko, but this book...
